Congratulations on choosing Rice! It is natural to have mixed emotions now that the journey towards a final decision is over. Embrace choosing Rice. My daughter has a very close friend at Wash U also. They get together during school breaks. When you get to your residential college for O Week, everybody will already know your name and cheer your arrival. O Week is a fantastic experience. My daughter is just finishing her first year and loved it. She is an O Week advisor next year.

While there may not be as large a Jewish population as at Wash U, there are many Jewish students. One of my daughter’s suite mates is Jewish. Check out Rice Chabad. http://www.jewishriceu.com
Congregation Emanu El is right across the street from campus, and Hillel is also close by.

My daughter is involved with the R2 publication mentioned above for creative writing. The Rice Cinema on campus will be a good place for you to get involved and explore your interests in film. Enroll in one of the VADA film courses your first semester to check out the department.
